On the fly dynamic living environment and atmospheric utility

Includes live cloud and sky texture sync technology and our new real-time advanced shader processor and in-sim interface for live tweaking and saving capabilities.

Real-Time Environment Simulation Automation and Tweaking Flexibility.

Enjoy instant, on the fly visual feedback, whether you are tweaking the sim to your liking or allowing Environment Force to automatically adjust the environment for you... all while the simulator is running.

LIVE, IN-SIM ENVIRONMENT SHADER TWEAKING

A convenient and powerful in-sim shader tweaking utility is also provided with the ability to save your creations

You can even use your other shader tools without the need to re-open your sim, as Environment Force recompiles shaders on the fly

New, Non-Destructive API

The API works on the simulator run time layer and does not change any of the core framework of the simulation.

Choose to control or automate

With Environment Force, you can now control the key weather and environment features in real-time, such as: Cloud morphing, sky and cloud coloring, sky and cloud texture swapping, visibility, water coloring and shader control, terrain and object coloring, and cloud / water / terrain / object / scene lighting. Or you can simply set it and forget it, with the WX-influenced smoothing controls for all weather parameters AND weather engines.

Breaking the Paradigm

Different Modes of Operation

You can enjoy tweak-free operation known as Automation Mode. This mode allows Environment Force to automatically control and change key environment visuals on the fly, in real-time as dictated by real-world weather. Or adjust visual settings in real-time within the simulator via the in-sim mini UI modal window. Manual Mode will allow you to take control of key environment elements and shape your environment to your liking. Adjust more visual settings in real-time within the sim via the in-sim mini UI modal window.

Cloud Component

When using a real-time weather engine, this component provides more accurate properties to clouds as they dynamically transition on the fly.

Live Mode Automation

You can enjoy tweak-free operation known as Automation Mode. Customize to your liking.

Live, On The Fly Sky and Cloud Texture Sync

Load cloud and sky textures live on the fly or allow full automation dynamics. Requires Sky Force or Texture Direct. We are currently working on an API for use with other texture add-ons. If you are a content creator and would like to interface with Environment Force, contact us!

Smooth Weather System Transitions

With Environment Force you will be able to experience smooth weather system transitions with ALL weather engines as clouds and weather will smoothly transition in and out over time.

Tight Integration With REX Sky Force 3D

The Environment Force API integrates with REX Sky Force 3D. If you have Sky Force, Environment Force will utilize its weather features for the ultimate in smooth weather and visuals.

Environment and Weather Synchronization

With the power of two components from the Environment Force API, the environment will transition and respond to weather conditions live, on the fly. If the conditions become stormy, clouds change in structure as well as terrain coloring, sky colors, and water functions change in unison. In short, the flight simulator experience is no longer static... it lives!

Simconnect Independence and the Future

One of the major benefits of our new Environment Force API is that it’s COMPLETELY independent of the often flawed Simconnect platform. Our new Environment Force API not only offers great performance, it also allows us to continually advance and broaden the API for future features.

What Environment Force IS

A utility with the deepest control for shaders and full dynamic living environment automation on the market. Thoroughly tested with new practices and procedures. An FS tuners paradise. Compatible with ALL payware and freeware add-ons (including Sky Force 3D, Active Sky, PTA, and Tomatoshade). Designed around performance. Compatible with Prepar3D V4.4 and V4.5. More compatibility in the future.

What Environment Force IS NOT

Environment Force does not contain any textures. It does not contain a weather engine, rather it works in tandem with a weather generator to provide a more realistic dynamic living environment, complete with smooth automated functions to change atmospheric conditions on-the-fly. Environment Force is not a replacement for Sky Force 3D. Environment Force is not available for FSX, FSX Steam and Prepar3D v.1 - v3.

No, Environment Force is not a weather engine, more like a dynamic living environment engine with cloud and weather life cycles. With added real-time, on-the-fly shader enhancement capabilities, allowing you to save, name and share with other FS users.

Environment Force allows full, real-time on-the-fly visual feedback. Plus the ability to save, and instantly inject any saved preset instantly while you fly, with zero lag. You can still use other shader tools.

Sky Force 3D users will receive a discount if purchasing Environment Force from the same store as you purchased Sky Force. We will be setting up bundling options as well.

Built-In Community Preset Sharing

On the fly preset sharing allows you to quickly get setup with your favorite tweaks from your friends or content creators. Select a preset while the sim is open, click INJECT and voila!

Environmental Life Technology

Currently the weather and environment remain static, even with real-time weather engines. Environment Force now gives life to a stagnant experience, as the sky and clouds now morph and smoothly transition over time and are always changing in density, size and atmospheric coloring... all in real-time.

You can now experience a full overcast cirrus cloud deck, something that cannot be accomplished without Environment Force!

Plays Well With Others

Compatible with all weather engines, texture/graphics and shader add-ons out of the box.
